Description
In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, George Saunders guides readers through seven classic Russian short stories he's been teaching for twenty years.
Paired with stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, these essays are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works. Saunders approaches each stort technically yet accessibly, and explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. For writing, Saunders reminds us, is as much a craft as a quality of openness and a willingness to see the world through new eyes.
